Review from Dana S (Mother of Child) published on 18 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been at Bright Horizons since he was 8 months old, he's now 3 years and 7 months, and the level of care and attention he has received from day one has been outstanding. Now in the Preschool room, he is thriving in a structured and nurturing environment where he's developing across all areas: language, maths, and early writing, as well as emotional intelligence and self-regulation.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Parent Experience coordinator at Bright Horizons Hyde Park Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted to hear your son has received such exceptional care from the very beginning and is thriving in Preschool. It's fantastic to know he is developing so well across key areas in such a nurturing and structured environment. We truly appreciate your kind words.

Overall Experience
I am so happy that my daughter comes to this nursery every day. The staff are lovely and always smiling. They are very caring and affectionate with my daughter, and seeing her so happy allows me to continue my day feeling calm and reassured, knowing she is in good hands.
When I pick her up, she is always happy and playing. They also send lots of photos through the app and do so many activities with the children!

I am very, very happy with Bright Horizons Hyde Park Nursery!

Review from Roxanne P (Mother of Child) published on 16 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has attended this nursery for two years and has received the most amazing care. He loves going to school and seeing his teachers and friends. The school takes the kids to the park, exposes them to different sports during their play time, gives the kids French and Spanish lessons each week, do yoga classes each week, give different reading books for home reading each week and get to use the larger outside area of the primary school next door during school term breaks. The nursery has outstanding staff who have worked there for a long time across the baby, toddler and pre school rooms, with staff often looking after siblings as they come through the nursery and get to know families very well.

Review from Clementine L (Mother of Child) published on 18 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have had both my kids at Bright Horizons from their 4months to 3 years old and it has been amazing. Highlights:
- great activities, varied, always entertaining - my kids have learned so much on top of making great friends
- great staff and a high ratio of staff / child which means constant close attention - never been any accident
- some outdoor space + sometimes they take the kids to Hyde Park
- extended opening hours which makes your life easy when you work
- amazing reports and pictures every day so you can fully see what your kids are doing / eating and how much fun they are having

And more importantly my daughter loves going there, every morning she asks if she is going to nursery today and has a huge smile if I say yes, then rushes to get ready with her bag

Reply from Sarah Walker, Parent Experience coordinator at Bright Horizons Hyde Park Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear both your children have had such a positive experience and enjoyed the activities, care, and opportunities provided. It means so much to know your daughter is so happy and excited to attend each day.

Cannot recommend them highly enough and just feels great to be able to leave him with people who you genuinely trust.

Review from Justina B (Mother of Child) published on 4 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter graduated from Bright Horizons Hyde Park Day Nursery and Preschool in August 2023 and we're now back with our son, who joined baby room in April 2024.
This nursery has been a massively important place for us for the last four years. It's great to see it shine again and see how it has overcome the little crisis they went through in the second half of last year. Everyone that works here is always with a smile and children love coming. Our 10-month-old son smiles or moves his feet as soon as he sees some of the familiar faces.
Every day when we come to Bright Horizons, we feel it's a kind of extension of our home. We know we're leaving our little one in really good hands, that they are stimulating him and mainly, caring massively about him.

We loved this place while our daughter was here. We're massively enjoying it now too!

Reply from Amanda Barlow, The Parent Team at Bright Horizons Hyde Park Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled to welcome your family back and to see your son settling in so well. It means a lot to us that you feel like Bright Horizons is an extension of your home, and we're glad to have regained your trust after last year. Thank you for your continued support-we're excited to be part of your family's journey again!

Review from Namrata S (Mother of Child) published on 1 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been going here since March 2022 and we have had a great experience, especially since September 2023. The nursery does an excellent job in understanding the kids, and their interests and putting together really engaging activities. There would be a theme every week like solar systems, caterpillars, community helpers, etc. and the kids do a whole range of activities learning about them. Also, the staff is from diverse backgrounds so my daughter gets to speak our native language in the nursery. The carers have a very good connection with the kids e.g., my daughter refused to be potty-trained at home so the nursery carers took the lead and potty-trained her. Owing to the city centre location, the open area isn't huge so the nursery takes them out to the park on occasion.

My daughter has attended this nursery since December 2022 and her development has progressed so much in that time. The staff are all brilliant and her key worker in particular shows such an interest in her development and focusses on her particular interests. She loves going to nursery and has made lots of friends now. Overall, we are really very happy with the nursery.

She likes going to nursery to see her friends. The nursery does lots of events for the children and parents to be involved. I’m very happy with everything.

Review from Johannes L (Father of Child) published on 2 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter attended this nursery. First in the toddler room, and then at the pre-school. I cannot overstate how happy I am with the nursery and the lead manager, in particular. She and other teachers, one in particular, did an outstanding job in taking care of my daughter and guiding her through critical points in her life. It always felt safe to leave my daughter at the nursery and there were no negative incidents during the years that she was there. The way that they encouraged her to learn how to spell (her name) and paint ever so often was heartwarming. For as long as the manager remains at the helm, I will recommend this school to any parent, without hesitation.

The nursery staff are super friendly, especially the manager and one member of staff in particular who have been making the place like a family for all the kids! I sent my daughter to the nursery since she was 7 months old and she enjoyed every day of her stay there. There are a lot of different activities like painting, playing with sand/playdough/water and more! We also got photo and app updates on her daily activities.

I highly recommend the daycare!

Review from Sheree (Mother of Child) published on 12 October 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter attended Bright Horizons Hyde Park from Nov 20 - May 21 in the Baby Room and then May 21 - Sep 21 in the Toddler room. She attended 5 full days a week. The only reason she is no longer there is due to us relocating back to Australia. I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience. The staff were kind, caring and it was obvious by the way my daughter happily went off to Nursery every day that she was happy and comfortable in the environment. As a parent, I always felt well informed and up to date with how she was going.

Overall Experience

Bright Horizons Hyde Park is a wonderful nursery! Our daughter started after being at home for 7 months during the pandemic. She was not used to being with other children and was a little nervous to leave me, however after only a couple of days of settling in, she felt at home. She made great friends very quickly and I saw her develop (alphabet, numbers, drawing) only a short while after starting there. The nursery manager is outstanding and her team of staff work wonders. Highly recommend!

Review from Rebecca S (Mother of Child) published on 1 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little boy has been at the nursery in the baby room for almost 4 months now. He has just turned 1. I cannot fault the staff here, my boy is absolutely in love with all of them and lights up every time he gets dropped off.
Since his settling in sessions, they have made me feel so secure and put all of my worries at ease. I am constantly updated on his progress and what he gets up to in the day! Loads of pictures of messy play and constantly keeping him active. They are really flexible with dietary requirements and are always on hand to make things work for you and your family. We had a few issues with napping but they were so willing to help my son overcome this they went above and beyond!

The only negative is that my son seems to get upset when I pick him up as he doesn’t want to leave!

Review from Kate I (Mother of Child) published on 17 January 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been attending the nursery for nearly 5 months and we could not be happier with the level of care he receives. We had a number of settling in sessions which helped both of us (mainly me!) feel happy that we had chosen the right nursery for our family. All his needs are met - lots of interaction, stimulating activities and plenty of space to crawl around and explore in the baby room and also, importantly for us he is safe. He adores his key worker and the manager of the nursery who both give him such wonderful care and attention that he doesn't look back when we drop him off. The team at the nursery are just amazing and I could not praise them enough for supporting us through all the milestones that come with having a baby.

Overall Experience

I sent my first daughter to Bright Horizons and she was very happy. So I have now sent my second daughter and she also loves it. It has gone from strength to strength and I believe the nursery manager has played a huge part in this. The staff and nursery teachers are all so lovely and my daughter is so fond of the teachers that she talks about them all most evenings. So many of the faces are the same as when my first daughter went there, which I always think is a great indication of morale and teamwork. At all times the management and staff are so helpful and accommodating. The meals are excellent and food is very important to my daughter, when I hear about the meals they have, I am most impressed with the variety and high standards. They have introduced some lovely new schemes, like loaning books out every week. These books are an excellent idea and have made our family story-time even better. It is a really great nursery and I am very happy that I sent my daughter there.
